Check the cpu fan is plugged in first, some systems do not boot without a cpu fan detected.

I'd try reseating, pulling out and putting back in, the ram

Then take off all components but 1 ram stick, cpu and fan, and use the onboard video if its avalible, and boot it.

Also ensure everything is plugge in. There should be the 24pin plugged in as well as a 4 pin up by the cpu.

Try those and report. You may need to find a speaker to liusten for beeps.

Hey guys just found out there is no cable... Where does it go can I replace it

 

[patonb]

Which cable?

 

[manxbodybuilder]

The 24 pin

 

[patonb]

it is a standard/every power supply has oine.

So you should have it attached, so just find it.

There is only a 4 pin connector for the fan?!?! honestly guys it has not got one im rather confused as their is a socket for it! is this the socket for the cpu power?

 

[patonb]

Ah crap, sorry man, I should have checked before but I just realized this is a laptop.

None of what I said about cable is useful.

Laptops are a different bag of tricks to check out and is very limited in what TO DO.

Is the fan plugged in for the cpu?

 

[manxbodybuilder]

its ok mate normally im quite good on these things but im so confused by this one ahaha and yeah its all plugged in

Have you tried booting without the battery?
i've heard before some people had a battery issue and it wouldn't get enough power to boot.
